In
about
an
hour
Captain
Nemo
gave
the
signal
to
halt
;
I
,
for
my
part
,
was
not
sorry
,
and
we
stretched
ourselves
under
an
arbour
of
alariae
,
the
long
thin
blades
of
which
stood
up
like
arrows
.
742
This
short
rest
seemed
delicious
to
me
;
there
was
nothing
wanting
but
the
charm
of
conversation
;
but
,
impossible
to
speak
,
impossible
to
answer
,
I
only
put
my
great
copper
head
to
Conseil
's
.
I
saw
the
worthy
fellow
's
eyes
glistening
with
delight
,
and
,
to
show
his
satisfaction
,
he
shook
himself
in
his
breastplate
of
air
,
in
the
most
comical
way
in
the
world
.
743
After
four
hours
of
this
walking
,
I
was
surprised
not
to
find
myself
dreadfully
hungry
.
How
to
account
for
this
state
of
the
stomach
I
could
not
tell
.
But
instead
I
felt
an
insurmountable
desire
to
sleep
,
which
happens
to
all
divers
.
And
my
eyes
soon
closed
behind
the
thick
glasses
,
and
I
fell
into
a
heavy
slumber
,
which
the
movement
alone
had
prevented
before
.
Captain
Nemo
and
his
robust
companion
,
stretched
in
the
clear
crystal
,
set
us
the
example
.

How
long
I
remained
buried
in
this
drowsiness
I
can
not
judge
,
but
,
when
I
woke
,
the
sun
seemed
sinking
towards
the
horizon
.
Captain
Nemo
had
already
risen
,
and
I
was
beginning
to
stretch
my
limbs
,
when
an
unexpected
apparition
brought
me
briskly
to
my
feet
.
745
A
few
steps
off
,
a
monstrous
sea-spider
,
about
thirty-eight
inches
high
,
was
watching
me
with
squinting
eyes
,
ready
to
spring
upon
me
.
Though
my
diver
's
dress
was
thick
enough
to
defend
me
from
the
bite
of
this
animal
,
I
could
not
help
shuddering
with
horror
.
Conseil
and
the
sailor
of
the
Nautilus
awoke
at
this
moment
.
Captain
Nemo
pointed
out
the
hideous
crustacean
,
which
a
blow
from
the
butt
end
of
the
gun
knocked
over
,
and
I
saw
the
horrible
claws
of
the
monster
writhe
in
terrible
convulsions
.
This
incident
reminded
me
that
other
animals
more
to
be
feared
might
haunt
these
obscure
depths
,
against
whose
attacks
my
diving-dress
would
not
protect
me
.
I
had
never
thought
of
it
before
,
but
I
now
resolved
to
be
upon
my
guard
.
Indeed
,
I
thought
that
this
halt
would
mark
the
termination
of
our
walk
;
but
I
was
mistaken
,
for
,
instead
of
returning
to
the
Nautilus
,
Captain
Nemo
continued
his
bold
excursion
.
The
ground
was
still
on
the
incline
,
its
declivity
seemed
to
be
getting
greater
,
and
to
be
leading
us
to
greater
depths
.
It
must
have
been
about
three
o’clock
when
we
reached
a
narrow
valley
,
between
high
perpendicular
walls
,
situated
about
seventy-five
fathoms
deep
.
Thanks
to
the
perfection
of
our
apparatus
,
we
were
forty-five
fathoms
below
the
limit
which
nature
seems
to
have
imposed
on
man
as
to
his
submarine
excursions
.
746
I
say
seventy-five
fathoms
,
though
I
had
no
instrument
by
which
to
judge
the
distance
.
But
I
knew
that
even
in
the
clearest
waters
the
solar
rays
could
not
penetrate
further
.
And
accordingly
the
darkness
deepened
.
At
ten
paces
not
an
object
was
visible
.
I
was
groping
my
way
,
when
I
suddenly
saw
a
brilliant
white
light
.
Captain
Nemo
had
just
put
his
electric
apparatus
into
use
;
his
companion
did
the
same
,
and
Conseil
and
I
followed
their
example
.
By
turning
a
screw
I
established
a
communication
between
the
wire
and
the
spiral
glass
,
and
the
sea
,
lit
by
our
four
lanterns
,
was
illuminated
for
a
circle
of
thirty-six
yards
.
747
As
we
walked
I
thought
the
light
of
our
Ruhmkorff
apparatus
could
not
fail
to
draw
some
inhabitant
from
its
dark
couch
.
But
if
they
did
approach
us
,
they
at
least
kept
at
a
respectful
distance
from
the
hunters
.
Several
times
I
saw
Captain
Nemo
stop
,
put
his
gun
to
his
shoulder
,
and
after
some
moments
drop
it
and
walk
on
.
At
last
,
after
about
four
hours
,
this
marvellous
excursion
came
to
an
end
.
A
wall
of
superb
rocks
,
in
an
imposing
mass
,
rose
before
us
,
a
heap
of
gigantic
blocks
,
an
enormous
,
steep
granite
shore
,
forming
dark
grottos
,
but
which
presented
no
practicable
slope
;
it
was
the
prop
of
the
Island
of
Crespo
.
It
was
the
earth
!
Captain
Nemo
stopped
suddenly
.
A
gesture
of
his
brought
us
all
to
a
halt
;
and
,
however
desirous
I
might
be
to
scale
the
wall
,
I
was
obliged
to
stop
.
Here
ended
Captain
Nemo
's
domains
.
And
he
would
not
go
beyond
them
.
Further
on
was
a
portion
of
the
globe
he
might
not
trample
upon
.

The
return
began
.
Captain
Nemo
had
returned
to
the
head
of
his
little
band
,
directing
their
course
without
hesitation
.
I
thought
we
were
not
following
the
same
road
to
return
to
the
Nautilus
.
The
new
road
was
very
steep
,
and
consequently
very
painful
.
We
approached
the
surface
of
the
sea
rapidly
.
But
this
return
to
the
upper
strata
was
not
so
sudden
as
to
cause
relief
from
the
pressure
too
rapidly
,
which
might
have
produced
serious
disorder
in
our
organisation
,
and
brought
on
internal
lesions
,
so
fatal
to
divers
.
Very
soon
light
reappeared
and
grew
,
and
,
the
sun
being
low
on
the
horizon
,
the
refraction
edged
the
different
objects
with
a
spectral
ring
.
At
ten
yards
and
a
half
deep
,
we
walked
amidst
a
shoal
of
little
fishes
of
all
kinds
,
more
numerous
than
the
birds
of
the
air
,
and
also
more
agile
;
but
no
aquatic
game
worthy
of
a
shot
had
as
yet
met
our
gaze
,
when
at
that
moment
I
saw
the
Captain
shoulder
his
gun
quickly
,
and
follow
a
moving
object
into
the
shrubs
.
749
He
fired
;
I
heard
a
slight
hissing
,
and
a
creature
fell
stunned
at
some
distance
from
us
.
It
was
a
magnificent
sea-otter
,
an
enhydrus
,
the
only
exclusively
marine
quadruped
.
This
otter
was
five
feet
long
,
and
must
have
been
very
valuable
.
Its
skin
,
chestnut-brown
above
and
silvery
underneath
,
would
have
made
one
of
those
beautiful
furs
so
sought
after
in
the
Russian
and
Chinese
markets
:
the
fineness
and
the
lustre
of
its
coat
would
certainly
fetch
L80
.
I
admired
this
curious
mammal
,
with
its
rounded
head
ornamented
with
short
ears
,
its
round
eyes
,
and
white
whiskers
like
those
of
a
cat
,
with
webbed
feet
and
nails
,
and
tufted
tail
.
This
precious
animal
,
hunted
and
tracked
by
fishermen
,
has
now
become
very
rare
,
and
taken
refuge
chiefly
in
the
northern
parts
of
the
Pacific
,
or
probably
its
race
would
soon
become
extinct
.
750
Captain
Nemo
's
companion
took
the
beast
,
threw
it
over
his
shoulder
,
and
we
continued
our
journey
.
For
one
hour
a
plain
of
sand
lay
stretched
before
us
.
Sometimes
it
rose
to
within
two
yards
and
some
inches
of
the
surface
of
the
water
.
I
then
saw
our
image
clearly
reflected
,
drawn
inversely
,
and
above
us
appeared
an
identical
group
reflecting
our
movements
and
our
actions
;
in
a
word
,
like
us
in
every
point
,
except
that
they
walked
with
their
heads
downward
and
their
feet
in
the
air
.
